I split the household tasks up and put them on a blackboard so that we could keep track of who is doing the most of them. For two weeks now, that person has been me—the only person with a full-time job. Yet the males in this house seem mystified as to how to change this?

I framed this chore blackboard as a competition where the person who did the most around the house won a prize of their choosing. I won last week; for my prize I asked to lose this week. This week I won by a much greater margin. I’m asking for chocolate and/or gin.
